# Schedule Address Standardization Updates

Decide which addresses to standardize, schedule one-time and recurring updates, and edit or skip scheduled update.

- **[Before You Schedule Address Standardization Updates](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.ip_schedule_addresses.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Before scheduling address standardization, decide which addresses you want to standardize.
- **[Schedule Address Standardization Updates](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.ip_schedule_addresses.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Schedule a one-time address standardization update, or schedule recurring updates.
- **[Manage Scheduled Address Standardization Updates](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.ip_schedule_addresses.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Edit or skip previously scheduled address standardization updates.

## Before You Schedule Address Standardization Updates

Before scheduling address standardization, decide which addresses you want to standardize.

- Create a standard integration user and enable the `npsp__Pre_Verification_Address__c` in the **Object Manager** under **Setup**.
- To prevent addresses from being standardized, select **Exclude from Updates** on the Address record. For example, you may not want to update a vanity address that includes a secondary city associated with a zip code of a major city, which could be overwritten by a standardization update.
- Addresses previously verified by either Data Integrity or NPSP have the **Verified** checkbox selected and are automatically excluded from future standardization updates.
    
    - If you want to include a previously verified address, deselect **Verified** on the Address record.
    - If you make edits to the Address record without deselecting the **Verified** checkbox, it is excluded from new standardization updates.

## Schedule Address Standardization Updates

Schedule a one-time address standardization update, or schedule recurring updates.

1. Click the **Data Updates** tab.
2. Click **Schedule Updates**.
3. For **Update Type**, select **Select a job**.
4. For **Recurring Schedule**, select an update frequency, or choose **One-Time** to schedule a one-time update.
5. Specify a start date and time, based on your browser's time zone as set by your computer's operating system.
6. **Estimated Records** displays the total number records that are to be standardized.
    
    - Addresses for which standardization was previously attempted but not completed successfully are excluded from this count, for example for incomplete or ambiguous Address records with missing state or zip code.
    - If the `Ambiguous?` field is marked `True` for a specific Address record, then we don't get a standardized address back from Melissa Data, unless the record is rectified.
7. Choose the addresses to standardize:
    
    - Select **All address records** to standardize all Address records.
    - Select **Default addresses only** to only standardize addresses set as a Default Address.
    - Optionally select the **Campaign lookup** checkbox, search and click your preferred campaign.
        
        - If **Campaign lookup** is selected, only the campaign members for that campaign will be included in the standardization.
8. Review the estimated number of record updates.
9. Click **Save**.

Important When manually entering time, U.S. users will typically use a AM/PM time format. Users outside of the U.S. may need to use a 24-hour format.

## Manage Scheduled Address Standardization Updates

Edit or skip previously scheduled address standardization updates.

1. Click the **Update Schedule** tab.
2. Find the update in the Scheduled Address Updates section.
3. From the action menu next to the update, select one of the options:
    
    - **Edit this Update Only** to edit a one-time update or a single update in a recurring series.
    - **Edit All Updates in this Series** to edit all updates in a recurring series.
    - **Skip this Update** to skip an update. If you previously skipped an update, you can also select **Un-Skip this Update**.
